  1. I can't see NWS doing anything besides the status quo. It would take some tragedy unfortunately, like a catastrophic heat wave that was underestimated due to a pigeon hole focus on Central Park readings. Better off trying to get media to incorporate other NYC stations more prominently in their forecasts etc.
  2. Saw some minor/nuisance coastal flooding earlier at high tide along the Sound btwn Pelham bay, Bronx and New Rochelle on a howling ENE wind
  3. I wonder if that is becoming a permanent feature in our climate or is this a period of transition before snowfall start falling to match our warming temps. Like DC for example where the snowfall avgs have been plummeting, matching warming temps. It might as well be ATL there now. For now I think having more favorable storm tracks and more precip overall continue to overcome the warmth, but for how long?
  4. Warm day but a coolness still in the shade with the low humidity, an impressive 77 today. Feel good about hitting 80 tomorrow.
  5. NWS forecasts have dropped a few degrees I noticed, I suspected thats why. Not a huge difference, but some upper 80s are now mid 80s. Mid 80s days now low 80s.
  6. ^^^The caption of summer 2021..at least the weekends
  7. Yeah..still is. The sunshine is deceiving. In early afternoon the major deegan was still flooded with lines and lines of cars and trucks abandoned in the water. Also additional runoff out of Van Courtlandt Park and down from Westchester was flowing onto the highway. Bx River Pkwy looks similar still. I had to drive a little I stuck to local streets.
  8. I was about to post the same.. its all closed, including streets not usually prone to flooding. That's flash flooding..then there is river flooding to come, how that will rank historically will be interesting
  9. Flooding flooding everywhere. Unprecedented rain rates and duration. Water is overflowing off roofs. Good for the roof business sucks otherwise
  10. Rain..but the wind is really impressive. Feels like a real tropical storm out. Espcially getting wind and rain together, not one or the other. Absoulty howling outside shaking the hell out the windows.
  11. Was it supposed to be this windy today?
  12. Raining again here..basically 20 mins of sunshine and a downpour develops. Same cycle repeats all day. Actually its partly sunny with mod rain now. Very FL type day.
  13. The temperature readings gets alot of criticism but wind direction, speed and to some extent rainfall obs havent been great there either.
  14. For now portions of the Hutch, and most of the Saw Mill pkwy is closed. Bronx River pkwy is closed past 233rd st to White Plains
  15. Pouring again but with wind now. Lots of road closures, if it has parkway in its name its probably closed
  16. I tried to get by the Bronx River near Gun Hill, but its pouring so relentlessly I gave up. I remember after Irene it was maybe the highest levels I ever saw, at the current rate this will probably reach or exceed that but I dunno if upstream is getting as much rain as the city to add to the runoff down here. Some of the parks along the parkway got covered in several feet of water back then.
  17. Storm surge watch extend from LI and Southern Westchester into Bronx and Queens. Odds 5 boro bike tour gets canceled... They never do for rain even torrential but never had to deal with tropical systems since its usually in May.
  18. Its been a kinda tough season..everytime I try go to beach its cool/rainy, or warm but water closed for shark sightings. Sun I'll be at the 5 boro bike tour, been counting on good, mostly dry weather but it's looking more iffy??
